@@PatJHeffernan Great thankyou.

I've had challenges with the link. Try this: drive.google.com/file/d/1nVez6GlXBffNjn4W6K2KiAEnqO5NHckX/view?usp=sharing It isn't the most up to date but covers off most. If it works, let me know and I'll scoot through the various videos updating it.

@@PatJHeffernan Thank you so much !!! I do deeply learn a lot from your videos, wish more and more people give thumbs up and like your video😃

I am SYD residential structural engineer and this is definitely a great new tools for my daily work 😁

@@aeinxing6508 Thanks, I’m glad you find them useful!

@@DavidKonyndyk Try going up to the menus and, with the sigma selected, setting is back to “variable”.

@@PatJHeffernan I'm trying that now, using the label styles as in your video "PTC Mathcad - Label Styles" It overrides me every time and keeps sigma as a constant. if I type 5σ=, it tells me 2.835x10^-7 kg/s^-3K-4. If I change σ to a variable and hit enter, the answer should be a question mark and a red circle should appear around σ telling me my variable has not been defined. Instead it goes back to green and assumes Boltzmann's constant. This is silly because there are multiple other common uses for the Greek letter σ. So why choose one in the software? And if it's to be a constant, then why is not not in the constants dropdown instead of symbols? There needs to be a global assignment options box for each worksheet where you specify these types of things for the entire sheet.

@@DavidKonyndyk I’m not sure what to say… I am able to manage sigmas label and shift it between constant and variable without issue (I just pulled out the computer to check).

@@DavidKonyndyk As for the constants drop down box, it only has the most common ones listed as there are too many constants to list there. Once a symbol is designated as a variable or constant, it should maintain its definition until changed within the worksheet. If you have suggestions for the UI, you should engage with PTC, I find them very approachable.

@@PatJHeffernan Well thanks for checking, but I'm on Prime 9.0 and it definitely won't switch. Perhaps it's because I'm on the trial license or something.

Hi. I am happy to provide the bones of the spreadsheet if you want to use it to program your VBA. I'm an educator, I believe the learning is in the doing. (That said, I've struggled to find a suitable means of sharing documents... I've tried Google Docs but seem to run into challenges... I am open to suggestions).

I’m sorry, that must be frustrating. Unfortunately, I’m not setup to do troubleshooting assistance.

As best I am aware, not automatically, but to create the space needed for the image is a fairly simple process.

@@PatJHeffernan All right, it's just rather annoying having to push everything down when rearranging a document or copying in something fairly large.

Sorry, I don’t use Creo. Maybe someday…

I’d like to think the process itself is simple. The real challenge is amassing the insights and data to build the decision tree. Thanks.

@@PatJHeffernan I just want you to know that you really helped me with something I have been struggling with for a while now and I appreciate it

Thanks. Very kind of you to say. I’m glad I was able to help.

This used to be more common as it allows us to signify a torque easily, including direction (right hand rule) in 2D. Newer texts show the torque as a curved arrow, but this requires a 3D diagram to fully comprehend. The double-arrow as torque is simple and easier than curved arrows for personal calculation notes… especially for 2D representation, which most of us do. Curved arrows are easy to misunderstand the direction.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Try this. I’m not sure if it works as I’m having challenges with Google Docs. drive.google.com/drive/mobile/my-drive?usp=docs_web&pli=1

Hi. The tracking Gantt shows time variance compared to plan. Resource variance is tracked numerically in the database and reported separately.

I don’t think it is actually possible to answer your question. The diverse nature of projects across the breadth of industries and circumstances change the variability of factors incredibly. I think you have to learn your industry and the nature of your projects to figure out what your risk tolerance is or should be.

@@PatJHeffernan I am looking for a real world example. So if someone has used this ; what was the industry , what was the confidence value they used , and how far off the pessimistic number was the value ?

As noted below.

Not sure if this works as I’ve had challenges with google docs and permissions. Let me know.

I’ve not tried to do that but I suspect it is possible. My next effort is going to be using Power BI to build a dashboard with hooks into MSProject.

@@PatJHeffernan Hello, thank you for your help. I am trying to use earned value on my project but I am freaking because the project is not really standard. It would be possible to ask you a couple of question to help me figure it out? How can I write you? Thanks a lot

Not that I’m aware.

Sure… if you tune in to this video it will answer your question completely. MS Project 8 - Tracking Progress and Variance kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIu4aHSDZ9yqn7csi=Aw6wTbbZq-44MBa-

@@PatJHeffernan Many thanks Kind Sir! Most greatly appreciated. Your MS Project videos are the best and most compelling among many I have seen. Easy to listen and learn from start to finish without getting distracted or losing focus. 👍👍👍

@@jnerikaat That is very kind of you to say. I’m very glad you found them useful!! 👍🏻

Hi Beth. Sadly, I don't have a quick answer for you. I'd be happy to investigate but it won't be timely as I'm at the start of a fairly large move. You can likely find me on linkedIn or Facebook to connect if you want to explore a solution some months from now. (My current effort with MSProject is to start looking at MSProject Online and MSProject's integration with Planner to see what opportunities are there).

OK, thanks for the comment. I’ll check it out.

@@PatJHeffernan I'm a prospective Mathcad customer. You're videos are very helpful to the evaluation process.

I can open it with the link so it might be a permissions issue. I reset the permissions so anyone can view (which is what I thought it was set at)... maybe try again?

Well, I obviously appreciate the program. I am not associated with PTC at all,... other than being friendly and having participated in one of their webinars.

Thanks!

Iterative plot could mean: a fascicle/nomogram of the function if it contains a parameter(s) that varies. Like: mx+2y+5=0, where m takes a range of values. There are those graphs on advanced books showing how a function behaves as a specific parameter (m) varies.

I hope it was useful!

Your welcome!! I’m glad you enjoyed it! 👍🏻

Sorry. You can play with the automated features, they work, but you have to review the choices the AI makes for you and I found you spend more time editing them than I do if I do it manually. This is likely biased based on the size and nature of projects I’ve worked on.

Thanks!

Thanks. Try this and see how it works: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1w-Ksgy1XD-OI5bbaIhF19DyYRbpLZq2O/edit?usp=drive_link&ouid=103534787204661770563&rtpof=true&sd=true

I'm glad you liked it!!

Sure. Most popular for professional drawings is the Adobe Suite of software (Illustrator, Photoshop, etc). Getting more common are getting drawings out of 3D models (SolidWorks, Fusion360, etc). When I do this I usually end up augmenting them with markups in Illustrator, etc. For most things I find PPT the simplest and most accessible.

Sure. I talk about how I insert images here (PTC Mathcad - Inserting Images kzbin.info/www/bejne/laTUlX2mgtKIh8U). I just make the images in PPT and then use the “save as” feature to turn them into a png.

Actually they make perfect sense, it is the empirical formula itself that makes little sense outside the context of its explanatory notes. Why not just add a comment explaining the nature of the equation and units?

Thanks

Thanks

Glad you enjoyed it.

@philipbgood: As I interpret it, Mathcad is dealing with your two column matrices as arrays. If you check the help on Matrix Multiplication it offers this explanation for "two vectors of the same length": "Returns the dot product (inner product) of x and y: a scalar formed by multiplying element-wise the entries of the first vector with the complex conjugate of the entries of the second vector and summing the results." Hope this helps.
